Chicago Pneumatic is standing its impact wrenches up against others with the release of the CP7749, a ½-inch pneumatic impact wrench that can balance upright on its own and change direction with just one finger.
The company’s new wrench made its debut in early August, and features not only perfect balance, but patent-pending forward/reverse technology directly above the trigger.
“You’re putting a lot of stress on your wrist, so if (an impact wrench is) not really balanced right, it’s going to wear on you,” says Brian Dove, senior global product marketing manager for Chicago Pneumatic. But he adds that the company’s new wrench is designed to prevent that wear.
“You’ve got all the power you need, but if you’re using it all day long, it’s really not going to wear on you,” he notes.
The CP7749 also features side-to-side (S2S Technology) forward/reverse functionality located directly above the trigger. Dove explains that with just a flip between your thumb and finger, you can change the wrench’s direction. The three position regulator in forward provides control and helps to prevent over-tightening, while full power remains constant in reverse to ensure technicians have max power to remove fasteners without changing the setting in the forward position.
“The CP7749 is perfectly balanced, light at only 4.37 pounds, and packs a punch with 725 foot pounds of true, honest torque,” Dove says. “Combine those features with our patent-pending S2S Technology, and we’ve created a tool that virtually eliminates the wrist and forearm strain common with the use of typical impact wrenches.”
Dove states that the wrench can be used in tight spaces, and features a twin hammer clutch. The CP7749 is also available with a two-inch anvil (CP7749-2) for tire removal applications.
